  • CAMBODIA: GETTING AWAY with AUTHORITARIANISM? Duncan Mccargo
    CAMBODIA: GETTING AWAY WITH AUTHORITARIANISM? Duncan McCargo Duncan McCargo is professor of Southeast Asian politics at the Uni- versity of Leeds. His latest book is The Thaksinization of Thailand (with Ukrist Pathmanand, 2005). His essay “Democracy Under Stress in Thaksin’s Thailand” appeared in the October 2002 issue of the Journal of Democracy. What if a country holds an election but it proves not to matter? Cam- bodians voted nationwide in July 2003, only to see their polity’s three main political parties take almost a year to form a new administration. The long-ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) of Prime Minister Hun Sen won 47.4 percent of the popular vote but gained 59.3 percent of the seats in the National Assembly thanks to Cambodia’s unusual “highest- average” system of proportional voting, which favors large parties.1 The CPP’s two main rivals, the nominally royalist formation known by its French acronym of FUNCINPEC and the populist opposition Sam Rainsy Party (or SRP, named for its founder and leading personality) each won around about a fifth of the total vote and a similar share of seats in the 123-member National Assembly (the actual seat totals were 73 for the CPP, 26 for FUNCINPEC, and 24 for the SRP). Since Cambodia’s 1993 constitution stipulates that a two-thirds par- liamentary majority is needed to form a government, the parties had to bargain in the election’s wake. Bargain they did, for 11 long months. All during this time Cambodia had no properly constituted govern- ment, but little changed.

  • Recent Developments at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia August, 2019 Recent Developments at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia
    BRIEFING PAPER Recent Developments at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia August, 2019 Recent Developments at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia Case 002/2: Death of Nuon Chea Nuon Chea, popularly known as “Brother No. 2” to indicate his position as second only to Pol Pot in command of the Khmer Rouge, died at the age of 93 on August 4, 2019 at the Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital. He had been convicted as a senior leader of the Khmer Rouge of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. The Supreme Court Chamber affirmed a 2014 Trial Chamber Judgment in 2016. A second Trial Chamber Judgment, issued with full reasoning in March 2019, was on appeal to the Supreme Court when Nuon Chea died. He was sentenced to life in prison under both judgments. Only the second judgment included charges of genocide. The second trial against Nuon Chea, with Khieu Samphan as his co-accused, was the most far-reaching of the court, covering crimes committed at a number of cooperatives, worksites, security centers, and execution sites across the country. The trial lasted 24 months and included the testimony of 185 people and over 5,000 evidentiary documents. Unlike the first trial, the second included genocide charges. Nuon Chea and Khieu Sampan were judged guilty of genocide with respect to Vietnamese populations and Nuon Chea was additionally found guilty of genocide with respect to Cham Muslims. The Trial Chamber Judgment, the most extensive in the court’s history, covered over 2,300 pages in English. Two days after

  • Statement the Building and Wood Workers
    Statement The Building and Wood Workers’ Trade Union Federation of Cambodia (BWTUC) and Center for Alliance of Labor and Human Rights (CENTRAL) are saddened and shocked by a workplace accident which occurred on 29 May 2020 at 4 PM, causing the deaths of two Khmer workers at a cement production factory Thai Boon Rong, located in La’ang Village, La’ang Commune, Dang Tong District, Kampot Province. These two workers were named Kon Tal (male, 31) and Menh Ron (male, 34) worked in quarrying and detonation for this Chinese subcontractor employing approximately 10 workers. Whilst they were working to mine rocks for Thai Boon Rong, rocks from the mountain fell onto them from above. Their bodies were extracted from the rock on the evening of 29 May at 7:30 PM and sent to their families for traditional funeral ceremonies. This is not the first incident, following the tragedies of building collapses in Preah Sihanouk and Kep Provinces. After seeing this shocking incident and in order to prevent workplace accidents in the future and promote workplace safety, the Building and Wood Workers’ Trade Union Federation of Cambodia (BWTUC) and Center for Alliance of Labor and Human Rights (CENTRAL), request the Royal Government of Cambodia to push for the following measures: 1. Immediately suspend the Chinese subcontractor company and wait for inspections and evaluations from skilled institutions to be sure that this company has proper authorisation to operate a sub-contracting business from Thai Boon Rong. 2.
